| 説明 | Built 1940 as a Mk.I and flew with 253sqn during the Battle of Britain. Later converted to a Mk.IIa with the new serial 'DR348' and despatched to Russia for the Soviet Air Force by the end of 1941. Recovered from a crash site in Russia during 1990, she was restored by Hawker Restorations and made her first post-restoration flight earlier in 2017.Now based at Old Warden and operated by Bygone Aviation in her own genuine 253sqn markings, she is seen making her airshow debut at the Shuttleworth Collection Evening Airshow, Old Warden, Bedfordshire, UK.17th June 2017.The following information on P3717 is from the Flying Legends website:-"Hawker Hurricane G-HITT Serial Number P3717 was built in 1940 as one of 544 Hurricanes built as part of the 3rd production batch. She was delivered to 253 Squadron at Kirton in Lindsey on the 13th of July 1940 and was flown by Pilot Officer W M C Samolinski. The unit then transferred to its new base of operations, RAF Kenley, on the 29th August 1940P3717’s Battle of Britain was brief. After landing and refuelling at Kenley on the 29th the aircraft of 253 were scrambled at 16.00 for a standing patrol. This however proved uneventful. 10.50 am the following day saw a squadron scramble to counter the 3 incoming waves of Albert Kesselring’s Luftflotte 2. Samolinski and P3717 were in the thick of the action and a running fight developed across the south of England. This culminated in Samolinksi and P3717 being credited with the destruction of a Bf110 over Redhill in Surrey. P3717 however was so badly damaged in this action that she had to be returned to Hawkers for significant repairs.After rebuild at Hawkers she was sent to Russia. It was from here that she was recovered on the late 1990’s and the long road to returning to airworthiness started." |
